DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
In order to make persons skilled in the art better understand the solutions of the disclosure, the disclosure will be described below in detail in conjunction with drawings and embodiments.
As shown in FIG. 1 , for a display panel consisting of a second substrate 102 and a first substrate 101, the first substrate 101 includes black matrixes 108, color filter patterns 109 of various colors provided above the black matrixes 108, and a planarization layer 110 provided above the black matrixes 108 and the color filter patterns 109 of various colors; a drain of a thin film transistor 103 on the second substrate 102 is electrically connected to an anode layer 104 of an organic electroluminescent device, the anode layer 104 is provided at one side close to the second substrate 102, a cathode layer 106 of the organic electroluminescent device is provided at one side far away from the second substrate 102, a light emitting layer 105 is provided between the anode layer 104 and the cathode layer 106, and a plurality of organic electroluminescent devices are provide on the second substrate 102, the anode layers 104 of the organic electroluminescent devices are controlled by different thin film transistors 103 respectively, all of the cathode layers 106 are connected together, spacers 107 supports the first substrate 101 and the second substrate 102 therebetween, at this time, light emitted from the organic electroluminescent devices transmits the cathode layer 106, that is to say, the organic electroluminescent device is of a top-emitting type, the cathode layer 106 is commonly made of conductive material such as silver (Ag) and aluminium (Al), light transmission of which is low, thus it is required to select very thin conductive material so that light may transmit. It should be noted that, after the first substrate 101 and the second substrate 102 are manufactured separately, the first substrate 101 and the second substrate 102 are assembled to form a display panel, wherein the spacers 106 may formed on the first substrate 101 or on the second substrate 102.
The inventor finds that, in the organic electroluminescent device of top-emitting type adopted in the above display panel, the cathode layer 106 is thin due to requirement on transmittance, resulting in the fact that the cathode layer 106 has large resistance, and poor conductivity, therefore the light emitting performance of the organic electroluminescent device is poor, and the display effect is nonuniform.
Embodiment 1
As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 4 and 5 , the present embodiment provides a display panel, which comprises a first substrate 101 and a second substrate 102 which are assembled, the second substrate 102 is provided with organic electroluminescent devices thereon, an anode layer 104 of the organic electroluminescent device is far away from the first substrate 101 and an cathode layer 106 thereof is close to the first substrate 101; and the cathode layer 106 of the organic electroluminescent device is electrically connected to an auxiliary electrode 111 on a light entering surface of the first substrate 101 through a plurality of conductive spacers 107 spaced at certain intervals, wherein the cathode layer 106 is a transparent electrode layer.
The second substrate 102 of the display panel of the embodiment includes a plurality of organic electroluminescent devices, an anode layer 104 of each of the organic electroluminescent devices is separately controlled by a separated thin film transistor 103, cathode layers 106 of all of the organic electroluminescent devices are connected together, and the light entering surface of the first substrate 101 is provided with the auxiliary electrode 111, which is electrically connected to the cathode layers 106 of the organic electroluminescent devices through the conductive spacers 107 so as to improve the conductivity of the cathode layers 106, and thus improve the luminance uniformity of the display panel.
Preferably, the auxiliary electrode 111 has a resistance smaller than that of the cathode layer 106 of the organic electroluminescent device, thus an IR drop of the cathode layer 106 may be prevented or decreased, the conductivity of the cathode layer 106 is enhanced due to the auxiliary electrode, and thus the luminance uniformity of the display panel may be improved.
The conductive spacer 107 is preferably made of any one of polyacetylene, PPV, polythiophene, poly p-phenylene, polypyrrole, polyaniline, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) or combination thereof. Of course, the disclosure is not limited thereto. The conductive spacer 107 may be made of any other material, so long as it is conductive and plays a supporting role.
The conductive spacer 107 may be of an integrated structure, and may be provided on the first substrate 101 or the second substrate 102 for supporting the first substrate 101 and the second substrate 102 when assembled. The conductive spacer 107 may preferably include, as shown in FIG. 5 , a first conductive spacer 1071 and a second conductive spacer 1072 which are connected to each other, for example, the first conductive spacer 1071 is provided on the first substrate 101, and the second conductive spacer 1072 is provided on the second substrate 102, and a surface area of an end of the first conductive spacer 1071 towards the second conductive spacer 1072 is smaller than that of an end of the second conductive spacer 1072 towards the first conductive spacer 1071. At this time, compared to the integrated conductive spacer 107, the height of the first conductive spacer 1071 or the second conductive spacer 1072 is relatively small, therefore, the first conductive spacer 1071 and the second conductive spacer 1072 are easily manufactured, and since the surface area of an end of the first conductive spacer 1071 towards the second conductive spacer 1072 is smaller than that of an end of the second conductive spacer 1072 towards the first conductive spacer 1071, the first substrate 101 and the second substrate 102 are assembled more stably. It should be noted that, it is possible to make the surface area of an end of the first conductive spacer 1071 towards the second conductive spacer 1072 be larger than that of an end of the second conductive spacer 1072 towards the first conductive spacer 1071, and it can be easily conceived that the stability of the assemblage of the first substrate 101 and the second substrate 102 with the support of the first conductive spacer 1071 and the second conductive spacer 1072 can be ensured, so long as one of surface areas of contacting surfaces of the first conductive spacer 1071 and the second conductive spacer 1072 is made be larger than the other one.
The auxiliary electrode 111 is preferably a plate-shaped auxiliary electrode 111 which is transparent and conductive. The plate-shaped auxiliary electrode 111 is made of any one of indium tin oxide, indium gallium zinc oxide, and indium zinc oxide, and of course, other transparent materials are also possible.
As shown in FIG. 3 , the auxiliary electrode 111 is preferably a grid-shaped auxiliary electrode and provided in a non-display region (that is, regions corresponding to the black matrixes 108 on the first substrate 101), and may be preferably made of any one of Al, Mo, Cu, Ag, Cr and Au or combination thereof. Of course, any other conductive material with low resistance is possible, and the thickness of the auxiliary electrode 111 is in a range of 50˜300 nm. At this time, the grid-shaped auxiliary electrode 111 is preferably made of opaque conductive material, and in this case, it is possible that no black matrix 108 is provided on the first substrate 101, and the grid-shaped auxiliary electrode 111 acts as the black matrix 108, the resistance of the material of the grid-shaped auxiliary electrode 111 is lower than that of the cathode, which may improve the conductivity of the cathode layer 106. Of course, bar-shaped auxiliary electrodes 111 are also possible and provided in the non-display region, and all of the bar-shaped auxiliary electrodes may be electrically connected to each other through at least one connection stripe.
Preferably, a reflective layer is provided below the anode layer 104 of the organic electroluminescent device, and the reflective layer is used to reflect light emitted from the organic electroluminescent device to the cathode layer 106 of the organic electroluminescent device. Specifically, the reflective layer may be provided on the anode layer 104 of the organic electroluminescent device at a side far away from the first substrate 101, but position of the reflective layer is not limited thereto. The reflective layer may be made of a reflective material, such as Ag and Al. Since light frequently transmits the anode layer 104, by adding the reflective layer, light incident onto the anode layer 104 may be reflected to the cathode layer side, and outgoes from the cathode layer 106 of the organic electroluminescent device, therefore, utilization of the emergent light of the organic electroluminescent device may be increased, and in a case of other conditions being the same, power consumption of the organic electroluminescent device may be reduced.
Preferably, the organic electroluminescent device is an organic electroluminescent device emitting white light. As to the white light-emitting organic electroluminescent device, patterns 109 of red filter, green filter and blue filter are provided on the first substrate 101 at a side close to the second substrate 102, and of course, the organic electroluminescent device may preferably be an organic electroluminescent device emitting red light, green light or blue light.
It should be noted that, in the above description of the present embodiment, in order to better understand the disclosure, description is made by taking the first substrate 101 being a color filter substrate and the second substrate 102 being an array substrate as an example. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto, for example, the organic electroluminescent device may be a colorized organic electroluminescent device, which can emit red light, green light or blue light, at this time, it is unnecessary to manufacture the color filter patterns 109, and the first substrate 101 may be a transparent substrate and assembled with the second substrate 102 to form a display panel.

Of course, it is also possible that the auxiliary electrode 111 may be formed as bar-shaped auxiliary electrodes, and all of the bar-shaped auxiliary electrodes are electrically connected together through at least one connection stripe.
The plate-shaped auxiliary electrode 111 is made of any one of indium tin oxide, indium gallium zinc oxide, and indium zinc oxide, or may be made of other transparent conductive material.
